Moro Silver Kris Restoration
Greetings folks!
By request, I am posting some pictures of one of the recent restoration projects I have done. These first 2 pictures are of the original piece with the hilt wrapped in later twisted brass wire. I took that off and discovered that there were extra holes drilled into the wood to place the ends of different strands of twisted wire. |

Then I drew out the design on sheet silver and repoussed, cut, and stamped the top band.

After that I then cut and hammer bent the other silver bands into shape.

I then soldered the silver bands, placed them on the hilt, and wrapped the spaces in hemp (lacquering the hemp).
